Naaah, it's pretty easy. You just start out with "assuming we can agree on a dollar figure, are there any other contingencies on the sale?" Then you look at those, if any are deal breakers that you can't live with, then you're not going to make the deal. Assuming not, you then talk money. Offer 20% below the top number you're comfortable with and then negotiate up from there. If you hit your top comfort number, and you're still below what he wants, throw in the towel. Otherwise, close the deal. Remember, if he didn't need the money then he wouldn't be selling.
